Russell needs to work out if he is coming down for the next Liverpool MT meet on Sudnay the 13th like he said he would. If so, it makes sense to have it that weekend. If not, the following weekend (19/20) would be good. We are running out of weekends though. I don't mind travelling if it is the following weekend (19/20) but I have my son next weekend which makes me less inclined to travel.

Where ? In Sydney we could go to Oxford Falls or Lake Parramatta Park maybe even Menai but I haven't been R/C crawling there so I'm not entirely sure what it'd be like for the little ones. JK says he has found some tracks up his way too maybe that's an option.

Thoughts anyone ?

I think that we will have to do it in Sydney. My garden isn't anywhere near ready, only a pile of rocks and some logs at the moment.

I am up at the jamboree on the 19/20. Next weekend is a no gooer for me either. The weekend after easter is a possibility.

This is probably a little late for your mag shoot. You could always do a writeup on our trip to Oxford Falls. Plenty of pics for the mag there.

I like the idea of Paramatta Park. From what Adman has said, it would be perfect for a get-together.

R C freak and i are probably better off on next weekend
Why cant you get away next weekend JK?????
The more we get there the better it will look in the mag
R C freak cant stay away for the whole weekend,his better half is expecting (a child that is )
Even if we drive up and meet you for an hour or so JK we get some good shots .

Or are you just scared?? :o Embarassed

Even if R C freak and i drive to gosford sat morn and Adman meets us or some thing??

Mission over the next few weeks is to finish the chassis, get the ESC fitted, and finalised the diff steering....So I won't be ready till after easter....

As a suggestion of location how about that quarry @ Mt White??

Easter weekend is no good to JK, and me and RC freak would rather not drive down with all the loons on the road for easter.I already have plans for easter anyway i cant get out of .

I have FM

I'll be bringing all my RCs for a bit of fun.

Can we make it Paramatta? I have a guy interested in taking some video footage, but he can only come if we have it in Paramatta.

What time?

Where do we meet?

I am still not 100% confirmed though, I will confirm ASAP.

You will have the 8T, but you will have to modify your gearboxes so that you can run them.

Looks like I will have to drop into your place on the way back home to give you the pinions. I can mod your gearboxes on the spot if you like. I will throw my dremmel in the car.

I'd like to have a play on your trials course out the back yard as well.
